the bay tree are supposed TO be a cure for
rheumatism and intermittent fever.
To avoid the difficulties and inconvenience
attending the use of steam engines a strong
company has been formed in Paris, Indus
tries states, for the supply of compressed
air to users of dynamo machines for cleo
trio lighting. A central station has been
provided, where engines of 5000 aggregate
horsepower will compress the air for this
purpose. The mains are already being laid
and the work is being pushed on with all
possible speed to furnish motive power to
the theatres, within the time allowed by the
government order. for the substitution of
electrict light for gas. With electric lamps
and compressed air engines the maximum
of safety from fire will have been attained.
The offices of the Figaro are to be the first
to be lighted by this means. The scheme is
to be extended to the provinces and Lille
will probably be the first town to adopt it.

Max Won Pettenkoffer, a German medical

soil into the air, and thence through the
lungs into the system. He regards good

It is commonly stated and generally sup
posed that lanoline favors cutaneous ABSORB
ton. But NJ. ALBERT asserts that his expe-

belief So far from favoring absorption,
he SAYS, it prevents it almost wholly. In
consequence of this, as lanoline does not
spread over the skin, but adheres strongly
to the part to which it is applied, and as It
is not absorbed, he advises that it be used
as vehicle for antiseptic substances in sur
gical practice.

Lime Is a Fertilizer.

Opinions differ as to the value of lime as
a fertilizer A correspondent of the Ohio
Farmer gives his experience with lime as
follows Last summer neighbor called my
attention to a narrow strip across one of his
oat fields which was three or four inches
taller than the rest, and explained that the
cause of it was sit had small coat of lime
fifty-two years ago." and yet it showed on
every crop to the present time. If the land
on which it is applied is extremely poor and
there is no sod, it should always have little
manure put on with it to give the lime some
thing to work on. 1t is rather slow in its
work You seldom ever see any benefit
from its use till you sow in clover and then
break up the sod And then there is no crop
on which it is not very beneficial Low,
clay ground that is naturally wet and cold,
unless perfectly underdrained, is poor
place for lime. 1t shows much the best on
high, dry, gravelly soils. If low, wetground
is plowed when not i'll proper order on ac-
count of moisture where lime has been used
it seems to destroy it's effects entirely. Here
is a mistake many farmers make. Because
a neighbor who has high lands can pillow
they will, too, even if the water runs after
them in a furrow The amount to be used
depends on the former fertility of the ground
to which it is to be applied, the amount you
have on hand, the time you have to spare
without making your crop late. etc. The
old idea entertained by our grandfathers
that too much would kill the ground is ex-
tremely fallacious We have used from 100
to 1000 bushels per acre and never lost
crop on account of putting on too much.
We usually use 800 to 400 bushels per acre,
and then before we SOW down in clover give
a top dressing of manure, which insures
good catch. Then let it lie a couple of
years and put it in corn, and we newer fail
to get crop.
Land that has been lined to any extent is
scarcely ever troubled with worms which
is no small item sometimes. From past ex
perience would say there is no better fer
tilizer for an orchard than hot lime. 1t
promotes the growth Of the trees, is de-
structive to insects and surely benefits the
fruit If farmer can get the limestone he
had better burn it himself, and then when
he wants to use it, which is generally very
busy time of year, he will not have to haul
1t for miles

Dissatisfaction with Fertilizers.

The main reason why so many people are
not satisfied with the use of fertilizers, says
Mr.. G.. A. Hoerle in the Southern CuItiua-
tor for September, is because they do not
use the right kind. If soil contains plenty
of phosphate, yet is poor in potash, it is no
use to add another quantity of the former
and it must be a farmers business to find
out, either by experiment or by analysis,
what his soil requires and add that, and only
that, and not waste his time and money in
carrying owls to Athens" If your farm
is once supplied with what it needs it is easy
enough to keep track of what has been taken
off and what added during the course of
years, as long as you keep strict account of
what you buy and sell, unless you let your
farm manure go to waste. A few hours
every year are sufficient to make up your
fertilizer balance sheet" and thorough
restitution is needed about every six, eight
or ten years, according TO the character of
your soil and the way it has been treated
during the preceding period.

Sweet PQtetoeS

Mr. D.. 5. Newman, in the Southern CuL-
ttc0tor for September, says that of the va
rieties of sweet potatoes most generally
cultivated for table use, that known as the
Georgia yam or sugar yam is considered
best for the Southern taste which demands
wet" potato. This variety, however, is
not very productive nor will it bear late
planting. Next in quality, and more pro-
ductive, is the variety known as the pump
kin yam, which is deep yellow when cooked,
hence its name. The flesh of the Georgia
yam is Of light yellow when cooked. For
the Northern market the Jersey sweet or
Nansemond, which is even less productive
than the Georgia yam, is the favorite, and
indeed almost the only variety that is sale
able in those markets, because it meets the
demand for dry" potato. For stock, the
more productive varieties, such as the st.
Domingo and Hayti yam, are preferred.
Under identical circumstances these two
varieties will usually. produce two or three
times as much as the Georgia yam.
The fact now well established that sweet
potatoes will cross without the intervention
OF true seed has puzzled vegetable physiolo-
glsts. Thus far no satisfactory explanation
has been given. Some have suggested that
though no seed are produced in this latitude
the plants flower and that the characteristics
OF varieties are blended through the infiu-
ence of pollen. This is by no means proba-
BILE since the pollen affects only the ovule
which, failing to develop, could produce no
effect upon the plant; Others have suggested
that either roots or stems may, when planted
in close proximity to other varieties, form
accidental gratis, through which mingling
of the circulation takes place, resulting in a
blending of the two parents Very search
ing experiment will be necessary to unravel
this secret. The fact that they do cross
without the intervention of seed is well au-
thenticated, but how it is done is the ques-
ton.

Pigs in the Fall.

The American Agriculturist, in a very
interesting article on pigs, says that it is
doubtful if anything is gained ultimately
by having sows farrow twice year. The
sucking of two litters must iniur1ously re-
duce the sow and the pigs are not properly
nourished, thus injuring them. But when
the spring filters are born, or lost shortly
after birth, or, in some cases, when sows are
too young to be bred to farTow in the spring,
it is good policy to breed for fall pigs. But
to make them as good as spring pigs they
must have good shelter and the equivalent
of green food. Swine shelters are more
likely to be made too warm than otherwise.
The swine lie close together and their bodies
are compact, hence they require rather open
shelters. Sheltered swine usually suffer
more from foul air than from cold. Good
ventilation is the first essential of swine
shelter. This must not be forgotten when
constructing shelters for fall pigs, for, be-
cause they are small, the shelter is likely to
be made warmer than for mature swine,
which is saying that it will be altogether
too warm. They should have no litter if
the shelter will keep them dry and protect
them from winds. The equivalent of green
food is easily provided and it is not more
expensive food than grain Turnips can be
grown after a crop of early potatoes or
sweet corn has been removed from the land
or even on stubble ground. The small po-
tatoes may be gathered up and boiled. A
patch of rye will give green food until COW
cred by the snow and at intervals during
the winter. The vegetable scraps may be
saved and thus the pigs be kept thriving
through the winter.
